Green Plastics: An Introduction to the New Science of Biodegradable Plastics

Plastics are all over the place. Bags, bank cards, bottles, and even boats can all be made of this renowned but much-maligned material. Yet most of us know next to nothing about plastics. We do know that they are practical and low-priced but they also represent a massive environmental problem, for they literally take ages to decay. Green plastics are the focus of an emerging industry focused on making suitable living consistent with environmental stability. One reason to make a shift toward the use of green plastics is the convenience of raw materials. Green plastics can be made using polymers that originate from agricultural and marine feedstocks. These are plentiful natural resources that are constantly being replaced. This, in turn could regenerate rural economy, both agricultural and marine, by providing extra demand for currently underutilized land.
